We came here for coffee training, Rob made everything I found confusing more understandable. Such a cool headquarter, felt like Batman lab. Came and left with extra knowledge about coffee and the process. Big up to Clifton coffee roasters.

We attended a really enjoyable, hands on, basic barista course which covered absolutely everything you needed to know about coffee (where it comes from how it’s roasted and even got to taste the different types of coffee!) it was really informative and the knowledge and skill i have come away with just proves how much more you can learn everyday!! i’d 100% recommend to anyone wanting to work in a cafe or start their own business ☺️
